    Although not all creatures yield a chest when you kill them, searching
their bloody remains sometimes reveals gold, food, etc.
    By wearing Black Badge in Blackthorn's Palace, you can pretty much roam
freely.  However, do not tell Blackthorn you've joined the Oppression, or
you will not be allowed into the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom.
    Glass swords can be found in the Serpent's Spine mountains (about the same
place as the white stone was in Ultima IV)  They only work once, but they kill 
an enemy instantly.  (They even temporarily defeat a Shadowlord!)
